This St Patrick Day Luck Cup craft will bring you a little bit of the Irish luck, just be warned he is rather attached to his gold coin – so don’t try to take it!
An Irish tradition, St Patrick’s Day is celebrated every year on March 17th. It is mean to honor the patron Saint Patrick.
There are fun traditions and stories that go with St Patricks Day.
Our little good luck cup is like a rabbits foot or a lucky coin, he brings good luck to those around him.
It is said that his gold coin helps him share his luck with those around him, so make sure not to take the coin away – then he is nothing but an Irish cup!
Feeling lucky? Well you will once these St Patrick Day crafts are all complete!

Cut two strips of yellow paper, about an inch wide and as long as the sheet of paper.
Crimp the paper by folding it back and forth over itself. Add two green hands, one to each.

Glue your googly eyes just below the buckle.
